2 Lamp bearers
The darkness, the coldness and the dampness, plus the green lampheads, the stiff corpses that were thin to the bones, and the strange smell of the dead, there was no trace of water since I woke up, and it was almost two worlds with the Lake District, which made me suddenly think of death.
Could it be that this is the legendary underworld? All of us are dead? My heart was immediately occupied by painful despair.
The legendary impermanence ghost has only been heard of in superstitious stories when I was a child, but it is very similar to the current situation, if it weren't for our death, then how would we run to this place where we shivered cold even when we inhaled for no reason, and my head fell into a state of crazy struggle as a wave of dead bodies walked away one after another.
Lao Tzu has always lived in failure, and has not yet succeeded vigorously, and he is unwilling to die......
After a while, my eyes were no longer so swollen and painful, and the beating green lamps suddenly overlapped in one place, and it turned out to be a lamp, barely jumping, as if it was going to go out at any moment, and from a distance it looked like it was floating somewhere in the air, or it was being carried forward by something.
As the lamp head got farther and farther away, the strange light emitted gradually dimmed, became smaller, and finally became the size of a mung bean, and the coffin-like thing suddenly disappeared.
Disappearing along with the dark shadows of the dead bodies, they were covered from head to toe in a black cloth robe, and although I lay on the ground with my vision obstructed, I could feel that there was no second breath around, and I was left alone, perhaps forgotten by them, or......
I didn't dare to think about it any longer, but whatever the case was, it was clear that this was a very good time for me, a rare opportunity.
The head is still muddy, like a machine part lacking lubricating oil, the pain can't be turned even half a circle, plus the surrounding light is too dark, I didn't pay attention to the shadow of the big mouth at all, Gu Yi was dragged to where I didn't see clearly, roughly estimated, she should have been taken away by the coffin just carried away, otherwise there would be no second explanation.
I tried to move my legs, but I found that I still couldn't command, I didn't have the slightest sense, which is similar to the situation after the death of a person in the legend, the soul and the body are separated, the soul returns to the sky, the body returns to the earth, and your body is no longer at your disposal, so it seems powerless.
Maybe I don't want to die yet, I belong to the kind of lord who can be a zombie after death, and I am aggrieved in the world, so I am very unhappy, even if I tear my eye sockets, I also toss it well, I made a lot of effort, and found that only the little thumb of the right hand came from a trace of movement all over the body, and it could bend back slightly.
In a daze, as the little thumb touched the ground, there was a little stiff feeling in my mind, the little thumb just made a hard effort, just hooking a cold thing, very hard, it should be a metal object.
Is this a knife? Is it?
I felt an indescribable excitement, feeling the blood on the soles of my feet surging above my head, an urge for revenge, and a desire to hook my little finger into my hand, obviously in this environment, the importance of weapons is more important than ever.
Helpless, my body seems to be glued to the ground by universal glue, the little thumb can be hooked but can't move, I have to force myself to calm down first, since the fingers can move, it means that I am still alive, this is definitely a great news, the reason why I can't move now, may be that I was given the legendary sweat medicine by something, or passive hands and feet, so, look at the current situation The strength of the medicine seems to be slowly fading.
In order not to touch the scene, I simply closed my eyelids, anyway, I can't see with my eyes, lying on the cold ground, all my thoughts are used on the little finger, for a long time, the first time to do one thing so seriously, I found that the middle finger of the right hand can also move slightly, from having a feeling can be stiff bending, before and after only five or six minutes, my heart is excited, I suddenly want to open my eyes, feel this world that is incompatible with me.
But immediately frightened by his stupid thoughts, he broke out in a cold sweat, forced himself to continue to calm down, and began to try to move his palm and index finger.
At this time, what I need to do is to accumulate strength in forbearance, suppress all the unwillingness and hatred, as long as I remember the direction of revenge, Lao Tzu will be Song Jiang first, and then Li Kui.
I really did it, almost half a point later, my right hand has been able to clench into a fist, which cold thing at hand is becoming clearer, it is indeed a knife, and it is very long, the blade is quite wide, similar to the ghost head knife or the kind of mountain knife, if the guess is right, this should be the mountain knife left by Ono, usually see him rarely out of the sheath, about to cheap me, his grandmother's, if it weren't for my arm is still very sore, now I can't wait to reach out and grab the knife, weigh it.
Time is like melted sugar juice, very slow, very slow, under my deliberate forbearance little by little flowing, when I found the bare feet and the whole leg to feel, I felt excited tears crawling out, finally no longer have to suppress this kind of pain and hatred of the impulse, the palm of the hand, the back of the knife tightened tightly, listening to the click and bending sound of the joints of the whole body, it was so enjoyable, and finally I was able to use it with a big hand.
"Up!" I accumulated all my strength, gritted my teeth, and lifted my hands and feet off the ground violently, but just about to turn over and get up, almost at the same time, I felt that my hands and feet were suddenly pressed by something, and there was a cold contact, and suddenly my internal organs were churning, and I was desperate, and my hands and feet wanted to lift up again, and my body was like a deflated ball, completely out of force.
All this came too suddenly, when I was overjoyed and sad, I was also frightened by the movement around me, panicked, opened my eyes quickly, pulled the corner of my eyes to look in the direction of the top of my head, and found that there was a lamp floating a few meters away, glowing with a faint green light, the light was actually very dark, but it was very dazzling, because we were used to seeing the normal color of light, the light should be red and yellow, giving people a warm feeling, but this is not, completely opposite, making people's hearts numb.
It was a papier-mâché lamp more than a foot high, thin paper, a jumping green wick, with a thin wire keel crossed on the outer layer of the paper, and the shaking lamp head could be vaguely seen inside, the size of a thumb, the lamp was not floating in the air, and the outline of an arm could be seen poking out of the black, carrying it, more than a meter high from the ground.
Behind the lamp, there is a person or a ghost, is it the head, the kind of existence that resembles a corpse chaser? I don't know why, but looking at the lamp, I feel colder on my body, and I can't tell where the coolness comes from.
I subconsciously wanted to shrink my neck, I wanted to take back my legs and feet, but I was surprised to find that my body couldn't move again, my limbs seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and the most uncomfortable thing for me was the neck position, which was also cold, and it was tight for a while, and when I spread my eyes to see everything that happened, I realized that my neck and limbs were covered by five round things like iron hoops, that thing was like a big palm, the more I struggled the hoop tighter, and when I reacted, almost my neck was stuck in a thin circle, If I hadn't stopped struggling in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to breathe now.
The same black-clad corpses, standing on either side of me in a daze, could see their bony arms and finger bones more than half a foot long through the dim light, and it didn't matter to me whether they were humans, ghosts, or zombies.
My mind was booming, I couldn't tell the difference at all, the only thing I could know now was that they were under the command of the person in charge of the lamp, as long as the bright green lamp drew a slight arc in the air, this group of corpses would move, and the five iron hoops lifted me stiffly off the ground, I felt that I was really going to die, I couldn't move, my hands and feet were cold, my throat and eyes were hot and painful, I couldn't shout, as if I was blocked by blood steamed buns.
What is the origin of the person in charge of the lamp, could it be that I cleaned up my comrades-in-arms so quickly, it seems that I misjudged, it is not that people have forgotten, but a planned slaughter, and now it is my turn.
That's it, I'm going to die anyway, I don't close my eyes anymore, I just keep moving my eyes with the lamp, until I see a black coffin-like thing, as I approach, it was slowly opened a slit, to be precise, it was a drawer-type wooden box, more than a meter high, about a meter five meters long, from the moment the drawer was opened, my heart began to be very afraid.
In the final analysis, everyone has a fear of existence, it's not that you are not bold enough, but you are a living being, a living being, after all, you can't escape the fate of mutual restraint, there is always one thing that is your nemesis, don't look at me and the big mouth, along the way the wind and bounce in the wind, the wind and fire to this day, in fact, the Achilles heel of the big mouth is the fear of losing me, then he will lose the meaning of existence, and my Achilles' heel is the fear of ...... Despair.
At this moment, the cry of the rest is getting stronger and stronger in my heart, I am afraid of being put into that coffin-like thing, in my opinion, it is a thing that pretends to be dead, once you enter it, it will become a world of its own, belonging to another world, even if you still have a breath, you will suffocate to death.
Crunch, crunch, crunch...... The drawer made a screeching sound, and as the drawer was slowly opened, I found that there was a white air coming out of it, and I tried to struggle, but found that my hands, feet, and body seemed to be frozen, and I could only watch as I was moved into it inch by inch, fiddling like a dead pig.
The bottom of the drawer is spread out in layers of ice, and the size is different, Bai Sensen's is a little dizzy, and it gives me the feeling that it is specially used to preserve corpses, similar to a corpse cabinet.
I clenched my fist vigorously and glared at the direction of the lantern bearer, much like the not very obvious arm to see what it was, but everything was quickly diluted by the thick darkness of the night.
